20 Things Sex Ed Didn’t Prepare Us For

RustyBuckler Published 05/21/2023 in ftw

Sex education can't prepare you for everything under the sheets. But some sex ed classes didn't prepare anyone for anything. Over at r/AskReddit they discussed how some sex education classes didn't teach them important things about sex that they had to learn on their own.

The emotional aspect. u/Lined_the_Street
2.
That girls want to have sex all the time too, but society tells them to hide that fact. u/throwawayconfess13
3.
Oral sex. That was on-the-job learning. u/tanhauser_gates_
4.
Not me but for the guys I’ve gone out with, an astounding portion did not know they were circumcised. They knew circumcision was cutting off the foreskin, but no one bothered to show pictures of what the foreskin was. u/Peanut_butter_sucks
5.
How easy it is to develop a UTI, yeast infection, or BV from your sexual partner. u/International_Net693
6.
How fun it was. Sex education basically amounts to "don't" u/the_purple_goat
7.
How good it feels. u/clever80username
8.
You need a lot more game before getting laid. u/manasu_stench
9.
I didn’t prepare me for fertility troubles, it had me convinced that if I had unprotected sex once I would definitely get pregnant. I know they were trying to prevent teen pregnancies, but my fertility is now messing with my mental health something awful. u/Swims_With_Dogs
10.
Assexuality u/Terra_Corpus_Volta
11.
They didn't mention that porn is not representative of sex. u/litex2x
12.
Mineral oil (baby oil) DISSOLVES LATEX! Do not use as a lubricant with condoms. u/colafairy
13.
How to clean up afterwards. u/wilsonianuk
14.
The cost of raising a child. u/weisblattsnut
15.
Sex. Our sex ed was basically just biology class on the reproductive organs and nothing concerning the event or protection. u/m80_Lad
16.
Babies don't get AIDS from their mothers as long as they take the anti-HIV meds and not breast-fed. u/tandemxylophone
17.
Smells, squishy noises, farts, queefs, sweat, saliva, tireness, cramps, thirst, waterproofing your bed. u/blackmambaza
18.
Menstruation. I had mine 1-2 years before they were talked about at school. u/Siukslinis_acc
19.
Sometimes, no matter how healthy you are, things can go wrong during a pregnancy. You might have to make difficult decisions when that happens. No one can prepare you for that kind of loss. I don't think our society really understands that pregnancy is still dangerous. u/ElectionProper8172
20.
The sudden influx of people wanting to eat ass. What happened around 2010-15 that straight up made everyone crave eating booty? u/stevenmeyerjr
